I'll tell you what, kid - how about starting a thread and make a case for why we should take LaVey seriously instead of pointing and laughing. C'mon, it'll be fun.
Satanism is the only religion that promotes freethought & atheism. Yet it can also provide the dogma & ritual that man needs, something plain ol' atheism can't do.

Free thought is the antithesis of dogma.

Well, rational except for the silliness and the sociopathy.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

What is irrational about sociopathy? Sociopaths are quite rational, more so than normal people.

Advocating sociopathic behavior is not rational.

Perhaps you need an education in sociopathic behavior.
Of course, I would not mind seeing the destruction of the current social construct, but without sociopaths we would not have big corporations.
Also, not all sociopaths are dangerous, unless you think that Wal-Mart is truly evil.

Wal-Mart is truly evil.

Sociopathy is good only for the sociopath, hence advocating for others is self-defeating, therefore irrational.

Oh I don't know, they can make good lawyers and judges, sometimes being impersonal is a good thing. Sociopaths tend to be pretty good at reading people, they make good performers and can generally be good fun to be around.
